By shutting down a hyperactive enzyme, scientists got damaged brain cells to regrow their lost “antennae” and restart dopamine signaling—hinting at a possible way to reverse Parkinson’s effects.

Inhibiting an overabundant enzyme saved a key component of a brain signaling pathway that is vital for motor control in a ...

The results of experiments in mice models were "astounding," said biochemist Suzanne Pfeffer of Stanford University.
